This example validates the organization relationship deployed in the Exchange organization and checks whether a delegation token can be retrieved for a mailbox for the external organization domain contoso.com.

The Test-OrganizationRelationship cmdlet doesn't include any functional tests of federated sharing features, such as accessing user free/busy information or moving mailboxes between organizations. It only verifies that the configuration will allow these features to work correctly.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Organization relationships" entry in the Recipients Permissions topic.

The UserIdentity parameter specifies the mailbox for which a delegation token is requested to access the external organization's configuration information. You can use any of the following values:

Distinguished name (DN)

Canonical name

GUID

Name

Display name

Alias

Exchange DN

Primary SMTP email address

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.

Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange 2016.

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

The Identity parameter specifies the organization relationship to be tested. You can use the following values:

Canonical name

GUID

Name

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The WhatIf switch simulates the actions of the command. You can use this switch to view the changes that would occur without actually applying those changes. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
